Online Chat

This task, after overcoming timezones ended up being a great experience.
Though Ive been in an online chat before, mainly voice calls with family, i was somewhat excited to try text based chat.

So me Julian, Gaynor and Janaki organized a Saturday morning chat via Skype.
We all got on and connected without an issue and proceeded to chat about a bit of everything.
It was really good to communicate with some class members... sometimes studying online can make you feel very alien to the rest of the class. Via chat and the like it helps to bridge the impersonal gap just a little bit.

Sometimes i found it a little hard to keep up with the different dialogue going on around the room. Another tricky thing was also working out who was talking to who?? Maybe its because i was a newbie or just a limitation of the medium.

From this experience i took away another first. My first real online "chat" with people i didn't know. It probably wont be my last...with school members anyway.
